:A. ;,- Tr .C Thus the world that is created out of this enclosed existence revolves. The routine that isolates each Wayne student also unites every student. The shuffling of papers that catches our lofty attention in the middle of the U.S. History experi- ence, the undulations of a new teacher trying to make room in our routines expands our abilities to reach the person sitting next to us. Every word digested in every paragraph that any person in these walls has ever read had stretched and fortified the bonds between man and the object that lies docile until we move them. The Learn- ing Game it is called. The rooms get hotter, so we sit outside the commons when we are done eating lunch and the wait at the bus stop becomes almost pleasant — we know summer is coming and another ending. The completion of a year of days built of ringing bells, familiar faces, and patterned rooms is a year fulfilled. We are sixteen or seventeen and school is our structure. We turn in textbooks and our lockers and wipe our brows. It is over — and we have won — The learn- ing game.
